Gone are the days where you see your living room in the background of your virtual meetings. Now you can meet while kayaking on Lake Drummond. Or take in a sunset at Elizabeth River Park. Whether you're meeting with coworkers or having a happy hour with friends, Zoom conferencing is a way for all of us to stay connected to each other during this time. Check out this great collection of amazing places in Chesapeake to take your next virtual meeting up a notch. You will find instructions on how to use them at the bottom of this post.
